Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2

Review bots appeared
As you maybe noticed if you open the Steam page for GW2, the Guild Wars 2 reviews on Steam are extremely good to say the least, and just recently it went up from 88% positive to 89% positive, which makes GW2 one of the best rated MMOs currently available on Steam.

Seems the competition does not like that, because some sort of ridiculous weak attempts at review bombing seem to have started. If any mod or member of support is reading this, please do something about this nonsense, because this is simply pathetic.

But on the other hand, it's amusing that the competition seems to tremble because of GW2, they must be doing something right.

Examples of the reviews are below, they're all exactly and completely the same within each type:
(Small Edit - some of them have been removed in the meantime, so if a link doesn't work, the review's gone. I'll try to get rid of those that don't work anymore, and I'll add some new ones because they seem to be appearing)

Game does not respect your time at all. Straight out locks class specializations and transmogrification and mounts with traversal functions that are required behind grind walls

mastery system is an absolute timesink

pay 30$ for gathering equipment that doesn't run out

First of all I actually like this game, good combat, good progression system.

The negative review exists because I really don't want to buy it on steam, and I already have a f2p areanet account with 2 level 80 farming for 2 weeks. But areanet's payment system for UK debit cards is pure trash. So I have to buy the expansion here and start over...

UPDATE
Most of the bots have been dealt with by Steam, as you can see for example here or on some of the other links: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199591889325/recommended/1284210/

Only a few remain, but I'm sure those will be gone soon as well.

As for certain individuals here who were trying to defend and justify these extremely obvious bots, hope you'll contemplate a bit about some of your choices

Well done, everyone, and thank you all for reporting the bots! ☮️

fantastic news, thx for noticing and sharing the info with this community.

As was pointed out before, Steam reviews and bot problems on Steam are dealt with by Steam staff, and Steam staff does not deal with in-game stuff inside GW2, that falls under Anets juristidction, not Steam's
So, considering what this entire post and comments are about, the suggestion you make is absolutely illogical

Ok let me denotate my previous connotation; the only players left are bots.

Good, which means you're purposefully breaking Steam's discussions rules and guidelines by trying to derail a discussion topic with off-topic stuff
Thank you for confirming and admitting this.

You may refer to the rules here, if you wish:
https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6862-8119-C23E-EA7B

In all my wisdom I shall be graceful enough not to report you this time, but I'm not really a great believer in third chances, after the second, so you might want to reflect on that

Haha thanks. I'm sure Steam will appreciate your restrained power trip. I'd recommend applying as a moderator for Anet. They coupd use more people like you.
Guild wars 2's competition is Elite: Dangerous and LOTRO. I doubt Blizzard or Zenimax have Anet on their radar.
Lotro went downhill after Mordor and Elite Dangerous is a bit of a joke.Elite was a trading game with some combat Elite Dangerous is a huge fail.

lotro is amazing, there are people palying with the standalone launcher directly from lotro site but i forgot... steam is the only metric that matters, everything else is irrelevant. For the past 2 months lotro has been switching to 64 bit servers, ther request are insane, takes days to transfer due high demand and once the transfer is done you cant go back to old 32 bit server and yet im still there in the old server and i see lots of folk doing spring festival etc.

if game doesn't have a gazillion concurrent players like marvel rivals, wukong, baldurs gate 3 etc then game is dead, game flopped thats the average steam user logic.
sort of , remember , some of those strange ppl also lurk in this forum to bash it despite not even playing it

I had a lifetime account when the European servers were run by codemasters. it went down the grind road and became pointless crap. I didn't even bother shifting my account over when the American company took the servers back.


One thing I wouldn't do is go and sit on the Lotro forums and try to cry it down, because my personal opinion is just that some like gring some like Lotro.

I was talking about Mina Tirrith and the stupid run up and down the city tasks.

how would that be assoeciated by any sensible person with GW2?

GW2 is not compatible game play wise with Elite Dangerous. and Lotro by design makes players compete for resources with a first come get it in Lotro, whereas all people get in GW2.
Most of the comments link posted by the author has been banned, will check all the link later and report the few that hasn't been yet banned.
